Chapter 33:

Detective Michael Gilmore's POV

I had been put on the Connie Temple murder case. I was called to the dome when it turned transparent. I was standing there waiting for someone to come to the barrier, so I could find Sam temple and tell him the bad news. We had very little clues as to who murdered her. The only clue we had was the gun used to kill her. It was at the lab, getting it inspected for finger prints. Then I saw the girl with the red hair return. Her name was Brianna I think. I started walking over to the where she was standing. The I started to wave frantically, trying to get her attention. When I got her attention I help you a sign saying:

"Can you get me Sam Temple"

In reply she nodded and ran off. I waited another hour until she returned with Sam and a copy and pen. She handed them to Sam and ran off again. He started writing.

"What do you want and who are you?" He wrote.

"I'm detective Michael Gilmore. I'm here to bring you some rather saddening news." I wrote in response.

"Ok, so detective Gilmore. What is this "saddening news" you have for me. I am quite busy today." He wrote quickly.

"I'm sorry to inform you that your mother was murdered at ten o clock last night. She died at the scene. Again I'm very sorry." I wrote back.

"I have to go now. We have a problem in town." He wrote back. I saw a tear roll down the side of his face as he turned around and slowly walked back to town.

6 hours later.

"Sir, we have the lab results back." My assistant mark said walking into my office.

"Yes, can I have them so." I snapped.

"Here you go. I'm going to go home now as well." He said handing me a envelope.

"Yes, yes go. I have work to do" I said hurrying him out of the room.

I went back to my desk and opened the envelope. I slowly took the paper out of it. I read through it. It explained that the gun was now at the police station and that this was typed out by the lab. Confused at how it typed I skipped right to the end. When I read the name I gasped.

The lab results show that the finger-prints found on the gun are the same

As Miss Abana baidoo. Mother of the late Dahra baidoo.

Sam's POV

I was walking back to the plaza and all I could think of was the news I just got. My mother was murdered, while I was busy plotting the best way to kill my brother. I could feel the tears run down my face as I walked towards the decimated plaza. As I got closer I could smell the smoke. It was hot as the ashes hit my face. Every thing had gone wrong in so little time. My mother dead, Barbara missing and a suspect to the missile attack, Ross had run off, Ross was more powerful then anticipated and about a billion other problems. Then a sob forced it's way out of my throat. I fell to my knees and began crying out loud. Eventually I got back up and began to walk back to my house. Away from the plaza, away from all of my problems.

Ross's POV

I was running. I would keep running until I found her. I would not stop running. I was upset. I couldn't believe Sam thought Barbara would do that! She wouldn't..would she? No, I could not believe that. Daniel did it. Daniel kidnapped her. Just another reason to kill him add to my already long list. That's when I felt the tears stream down my face. All the events of the past few hours came flooding back. The is wile attack, Albert getting killed, nearly killing Sam and Caine, the plaza destruction and Lana's soothing touch and her words of advice. Wait. Why was I thinking of Lana. I tried to shack her from my head but I couldn't. Why could I remember her voice so clearly and not remember Barbara's. Why could I remember her touch. The warmth of her hand on my face. I stopped. I didn't think I could on. How could I go on with my futile search if I couldn't get Lana out of my head. How could find Barbara if I couldn't remember what her voice sounds like. How could I find her in this hell hole. Then I broke down and cried in the middle of the highway.

Daniels POV

I walked back to the hideout laughing. I shot Albert right through the head and I had laughed the whole time. Then the missile came and I saw Ross get thrown to the floor with the force of the explosion. Then I had run to the highway. Away from the destruction I helped cause. But then the best news had come when Barbara ,et up with me halfway to the nuclear plant. I told how great she was out there. She has great aim. Then we had kissed. I had made the right decision getting her to help me. And now we were walking side by side to me and drakes hideout. He didn't think this would work. But it did and now I was with the girl I loved. And Ross had lost.
